This morning, I did "yum update" on my wife's box. It did not update the kernel. I ran the command again, and there is a response that no updates are available. Her box is a Compaq Evo D300v Celeron. During the past couple of days, when I did "yum update", on my daughters box and mine (Dell Dimensions), the kernel was updated and in the GRUB menus now, there are two (2) Linux kernels to choose from, as well as the Win XP option, since these are all dual boot boxes. How can I update the kernel on the Compaq Evo so it has an up to date kernel? TIA!

Hi there
When this happens i do a "yum clean all" then do the update again.
That usually sorts it .

Check /etc/yum.conf and see if there's an exclude=kernel line

Assuming a 32 bit CPU, I would also check /etc/rpm/platform. Something overwrote mine to i386.

Hi uncle Bob,
Good to hear from you. So this remains mystery? You never figured out who / what did it?

Hi niece Akemi. No. I haven't even tried. If there is interest and I have the time....
